Very interesting!

You do expect experts to be telling you the truth and you take it at face value... unless it’s political obviously, then you’re a sceptic at best!

Really interesting history

Brilliantly produced and edited, with a great host and knowledgeable guests. Each chapter is a different moment from history and every one is fascinating. A great listen. I can’t wait for season two!
